Emanuele Giaccherini revealed his pre-match team talk and Antonio Conte’s preparation as Italy beat Spain 2-0.
“We prepared for this game in the tiniest details throughout the week and the Coach gave us the right indications to beat what I think is one of the best teams in the world,” Giaccherini told Sky Sport Italia.

“We prepared for this game in the tiniest details throughout the week and the Coach gave us the right indications to beat what I think is one of the best teams in the world,” Giaccherini told Sky Sport Italia.
“We legitimised the victory with many chances that we wasted, so it should’ve been more than 2-0.
“Today I made the speech to the players before the game, telling them we needed heart, because tactics can only take you so far, and we had heart.
“A different player makes the pre-match speech every time, as we are a group and everyone plays their part.
“We suffered against Spain only towards the end of the second half, as we got too deep and they have exceptional players, but we had so many chances and could certainly have finished it earlier.”
